Kimi Code CLI

Kimi CLI is a command-line AI agent that brings an intelligent software development assistant directly into your terminal, helping you with coding tasks, shell operations, and workflow automation without leaving your command prompt. It supports an interactive shell-like user interface where you can chat with the agent, request code edits, run shell commands, and receive contextual suggestions as you work, creating a seamless blend of AI-augmented development and traditional terminal usage. The tool includes integration with Zsh so that users can activate AI assistance via a hotkey while staying within their favorite shell environment, and it can serve as an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server to bridge AI functionality into compatible IDEs and editors. Its support for well-established MCP tool configuration conventions lets developers connect the CLI to external tools and services during workflows, expanding its capabilities beyond simple queries into orchestrated development tasks.
